Lower operating costs: save up to 40% just in expenses

Compared to conventional types of heating, our infrared heating can help you save up to 40 % in expenses incurred every winter. How is it possible? There are, in fact, more than a few reasons:

The room temperature can by 2–3 °C lower than your are used to because infrared rays effect you directly, instead of first heating up the air and the rest after. These 2 or 3 degrees translate into the savings of up to 25%, especially in winter months. But your savings can be even greater: the best way of regulating room temperature is when you connect your PION heating units to programmable thermostats. These are installed in every heated room. This solution can help you save up to 40% on heating cost. We recommend using 16A thermostats. Infrared heating units can be connected to any commonplace regulation system. This enables the user to control the heating via the Internet or by SMS. In hotels, pensions, hostels and other accommodation ventures it is possible to interface check-ins and room booking with the heating controls so that heaters switch on and off in response to occupancy requests. The system can also be set up to react to window opening - switching off the heating automatically.

There is virtually no maintenance cost required by PION units – no annual checkups of chimneys or boilers required, no danger of cracked piping or fuel leaks. Plus, if you select the most suitable energy fee tariff, the infra-system can reach the utmost the cost-effectiveness.

People who own holiday houses or cottages know how much the building can get cold once you leave it uninhabited. So cold it is difficult to heat it back up. But when you start using PION, there is no longer any heat loss like when you first need to warm up air; PION directly heats the floor, walls and persons in the room. Even if the ambient temperature of the room is relatively low, you will feel warm.

To maximise your savings, it is necessary to select the best tariff that your particular electricity provider offers. In most cases this would be pricing tariff used for households that primarily use electric space or fan heaters at home.

Saving space

The PION units do not take up floor or wall space because they are primarily intended for the ceiling. When hung below the ceiling their unique oval profile and the 120° curve of the heat-emitting panel they are able to warm up the whole room. Unlike heating radiators or other types of infrared heating systems offered by the competition they do not stand in the way when arranging furniture, hanging pictures or positioning other interior accessories on the walls, floor or even below the windows.

How is it possible that by using infrared heating you actually save money? Simply, it is the most efficient way you can convert electricity into heat

The principle is rather simple: The electric current runs through the unit which has high resistance; this heats up the built-in resistor and via the heat-emitting panel emits infrared rays of the required wavelength. This radiation has a natural ability to penetrate objects significantly faster than the energy radiated by convection heating, such as gas or standard electric heaters or direct heaters. That is why about 80% of the heat gets absorbed by the objects in the room instead of being wasted with no effect through air circulation or through walls, floors or doors.

The new generation infraheating can thus consume 35-40% less energy than conventional convection heating systems. Unlike them PION does not waste energy on heating up air, which is a rather inefficient method of indoor heating, where most of the hot air accumulates below the ceiling, meanwhile the ground-level temperate stays colder, even by 10 degrees. And thus the traditional heating can be blasting at max and still, you feel cold in all those pockets of cold air scattered around the room. No more cold feet at home, with PION at your aid.

The PION infrared heating systems are available at a very affordable price and at the same time use up less electricity than normal convection heaters. In case you find the benefits of the PION infrared units worth your while, you can use our calculator to find out what set-up would be ideal for your particular type of space.
